Astudent wants to report on the number of books her friends read each week. the collected data are below: 0 24 1 4 5 2 5 4 which measure of center is most appropriate for this situation and what is its value?
a. median; 2
b. median; 4
c. mean; 2
d. mean; 4

b. Median; 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer would be a median because a mean would not provide accurate information because there is an outlier (24), so the median is automatically the correct choice, so C and D are incorrect.  Now we just have to find the median

1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 24 are the numbers in least to greatest order.  The number in the middle is 4, so the answer is B- Median; 4

answer: f true

step-by-step explanation:

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
